Word.
I am not a fan of trucks/vans/suvs, tbh. Fair enough if you have a family or whatever then I can understand the practicality of having a large sized vehicle, other than that though, they just do not appeal to me. I don't understand this American philosphy that "bigger is better" esp when it comes to vehicles.
Haha FBR is going to love this thread![]()










What the hell is an Escalade? Is it a Cadillac of some sort? I have no idea what they look like.
But I hate the ball cap thing (though I have and have had many, many friends who ALWAYS wear them) and the side-kicking the girl to diss her publicly in the cutesy joking way so everyone thinks your a cocky studboy. I saw a guy do this in my club the other night and wanted to smack the dumb fuck.
I hate big cars when people think it's somehow tied in with their masculinity or prestige, or expect people to admire them somehow for having one. Especially these fucks who double park them--I mean take two spaces with them so no one scratches them, in the crowded part of the lot right next to the store.
But I confess I do love big old rumbling powerful V-8 engines and cars you can fit all of your friends in with room for more.

I'm still looking for an SUV driver who isn't a completely self-absorbed asshole. I haven't found one yet. They're the worst drivers on the road because they have no consideration for anyone else, and they have an overwhelming tendency to park in compact spots right next to my car so I can't get in it. My apologies if you're an SUV driver reading this who isn't a douchebag, but I haven't met you yet. Every SUV I've come across has been a useless prick extender.
i was going to say, escalades do run on douchebaggery lol.

I hate to state it here, but a lot of the people I see driving these behemoth vehicles...
by themselves...
while chatting on their cell phone...
oblivious to everything around them...
idling for thirty minutes with the A/C full blast...
taking thirty laps around the parking lot until that space by the door opens...
...are the kind that weren't born with penises or Y chromosomes. -->![]()

Other than that, yeah, I pretty much agree on the whole arrogant douchebag bit, especially considering the cost of fuel right now.

This reminds me.. about 2 years ago my husband stopped at a gas station to get gas and there was a guy at the pump next to him with a new, shiny escalade. The guy went over to my husband and asked if he could spare a few dollars for gas so he could get home.![]()

HA!! That's so funny! I would have loved to make a comment to said SUV owner about how I don't support panhandlers and s/he needs to get a real job and stop mooching off society.

I hate luxury SUV's. I don't know why anyone would pay $56,000.00 for an Escalade. You could spend that much on a used Lotus Elise $46,000.00 with dealer mark up and options you would probably come out at 55k. That price for the Escalade is just the MSRP alone. Atleast with the Lotus you could go really fast. PPL rag on the car because it's just a 4 cyc, but it still performs very well, gets good mileage, and is SEXY. HELL, I've only seen two of these in person my whole life. I think old dudes in their mid-life crisis can't even get in and out of the car, so they go for luxury SUV's. Even worse I saw some old douche driving a Cadillac XLR with some 18 year old girl. The car is easily over 80k. Sad.

QFT!! Argh, this is the favored vehicle where I live!
Although I've encountered ONE exception; my neighbor who converted his to natural gas and is not an asshole. As for the rest, you are spot on!
I get the need for SUV's or trucks if you do outdoors stuff but keep them off the road when you're shopping or running errands.
Also, Hummers, WTF are you doing owning one when you live in an apartment?????
Haha... I would so take an Elise (sweetness), but to be fair... there is nothing practical about it either. It's a luxury.
Not that I have any issue with people spending on luxury items, as most who can afford it do, and it's all relative...
here are some examples...
Buying a big house. Somewhere in the world there are people saying, OMG, douches!, there is enough space and cost in that house for 4 families!!!
People buying jewelry or expensive shoes, again there are people saying OMG, I could clothe my entire family for the cost of one purse!
People who buy expensive watches (if you have one, you know you love it, but)... there is a guy saying I could buy a $10 Timex and have put the other $5990 towards college for my kids VS buying that Rolex!!!
Or even say, blowing $500 or more on strippers in one hour. Somewhere in the world are families saying "That is more then I make in a year!!!" Hell, somewhere in every city and town are homeless people who live on much less per month.
Mind you, I have had some bad experiences with people who are on their cell while driving, drive too fast in the 4 wheel drive vehicles in the snow, who I can't see around when pulling out, who park lamely dinging my car with their big ass doors, but these are not exclusive to SUV owners (but perhaps, somewhat more common)
That's ironic, he complains about the price of Ice Cream yet fills his Escalade with GAS.
He sounds like a douche, but honestly, there are some places where a truck or big SUV would come in really handy. Like WI. If I could afford one, I would get one. As many of you know, the weather was so bad here last winter I couldn't dance and had to bartend because I couldn't take my car on the freeway....
When you're getting about 200 inches of snow a year, trust me, a large 4 wheel drive vehicle is the safest best option suring Winter.....Not that you have to have some huge fancy Escalade, but a jeep or something similar would be bomb. Even tho it guzzles gas.





I love my Ford F150 pickup. I have no intention of selling it except to buy a newer larger Ford truck. Need to move something? Can do it my self. Now since I predicted high gas prices almost three years ago, I bought a hyudai elantra. that Is what I drive on a daily basis. For errand that require moving big bulky things and for fierce winter weather it is the 4x4 F150 definitely.
In my area it is the Latino hip hop crowd driving escalades and explorers. with the 20 inch rims and huge window logos.
The old folks seem to like the 300s.
^^^
People are retarded, I've seen that also. Most jeeps are not four wheel drive, but people assume they will be good in the show ...hmm....Also I don't think people turn on the four wheel drive option when they should (like in a jeep).
Still it would be better than my car....sigh...





The truck is four wheel drive and is fine in anything except an ice storm. I like it because I sit up higher, if I get broad sided by an suv or another truck the frame .takes the hit, not the door and my soft body. At the next stop light have a look, most bumpers would strike a small econo car from the half way point of the door to the windowsill. An area unreinforced by side impact bars. If it is a lifted truck? or a large industrial truck such as a cement mixer? Well you head is crushed. Closed casket, emt used sponges.............................





When I lived back east i never drove 4 wheel drive cars/trucks in the winter. I drove plain old rear wheel drive and i watched more jaghoffs wreck their 4wheel drive vehicles as i drove on by laughing.
Ill take 4 wheel drive for muddin, but give me rear wheel drive in snow anyday.
I need a large vehicle. I am grossly overweight. I admit that I could fit into a lesser expensive but similarly large truck but I grew up poor and now that I am successful I want everyone to pay attention to me. I had the windows heavily tinted. I don't wear baseball caps so I thought that would be wise.Originally Posted by seraya

Once again I have embraced my addiction and have put off the moral dilemma to another day.
I grew up poor aswell. I'm not rich by any means now, but I'm doing ok. I can see splurging on something just for yourself. Some rich ppl though, you can just see the snobbery and conceit oozing off them. I hate custom license plates on nice cars (sorry if anyone has one) one of my pet peeves. For instance, Hummers with something like HUM MR1 , WE CAN ALL SEE U HAVE A HUMMER DUDE ! or the corvette: licence plate number 08V ETE.
